Today's readings are Mark 1-2; Psalm 1. I hope you will join me in reading through the Bible this year.

I may pick back up with the 49 week challenge next year (2027), but since we are reading the Bible together at St. John, I thought I would join in that process and use readings from the Follow the Word reading plan we'll be using as a church this year. So here's my reflections on the reading for day 1, January 1, 2026.
